RE: Top 1000 Hive Stakeholders! Moments of Pleasure, Years of Pain!

And they don't sell.

Yes, and this is an issue, imo.
Hive is already centralized to a game breaking amount.
All hail, the ninjamine!

Why would anybody buy in above a nickel when the price to power ratio is not profitably favorable to changing who is allowed to influence the shot calling even a little bit?
TMM said it one day, he came to the conclusion that no matter how much hive he accumulated he would never have enough to impact the status quo.
Then he negotiated for a witness spot he should have had all along, iyam.
I'm glad he found his balance, he is an asset to the ecosystem.
But, the restivus would benefit by a new whale experiment.
IF people make sock puppets, hw's can be paid to find them.
Linear rewards kinda moots that anyway.
Getting back to the original design, without the ninjamine, and exponential rewards is probably not gonna happen, and the game has suffered for it.

And, again, I am not trying to embarrass anybody, I'm just trying to highlight a friction point that I feel has been holding us back all along.
Being outgunned 1000mv to 1mv is one thing, but to be looking into a 20k mv black hole that can never be escaped is another.

We are supposed to be community governed, but clearly that is not the case at this level of power disparity.
